Turn off the Computer!

Usually I spend a lot of time on the internet......far too much time......but for the last 3 days my computer has hardly been on.....so apologies for lack of commenting....though I have been catching up on blogs this evening.We spent one day in London.We spent a morning in town.......and the afternoon entertaining MIL......who sadly fell over last week and broke her arm.......her right arm,of course......which means she's very limited in what she can do.

We saw our grandaughter.

We went to a boot sale.......and to the Ashford Outlet Centre.......I even bought some christmas presents!

I started reading a book........I couldn't put it down.......sometimes it's great just to lose yourself in a thriller.

Over the last few days I've learned.....

1. I really miss living in London.......even though I love living by the sea.

2. The London Underground is extremely expensive [unless you have an Oyster

card].....£4 to travel 3 stops [2 miles].......but you can buy a rail ticket from London to Leeds [135 miles] for £10......now that really is crazy.

Totally agree Jacky and have been taking time out too. :Love seeing your photos of your great weekend. GD looks gorgeous - it is hard on young first timers I agree. Enjoy your cuddles and computer free time. Hugs Cherry XXX

Don't apologise for spending quality time with your family! But it is great to see your fab photo's & hear what you've been up to! I was stunned too, on our recent stay in London, at how expensive the underground is now, I'm sure it wasn't always so!!

Your baby is so beautiful and I certainly hope your MIL heals quickly,,,that would so stink to have one arm not useable.I'm a huge Johnny Depp fan (OK, probably stalker is more like it LOL) so that pic really made me perk up!

You honestly don't need to apologise - you have your priorities absolutely right. Who wouldn't want to spend time enjoying that beautiful baby? I couldn't agree more about the lack of support - I was very shocked by the difference between when I had my first 15 years ago, and when my sister had hers last year. Made me quite cross.

What a lovely post and beautiful photos :o) So glad you're enjoying time with your family. I think what got me was that new mums now only get one anti natal class and have to cram everything we used to learn over 6 weeks into one 3 hour session! That was where we made friends who would have babies at the same time and be able to compare notes - never mind finding out what to expect and do. It is sad! I dare say we'll find out about the after care, or lack of it, in a couple of months time.
